They can be divided into four categories:
permanent and generally gravitational loads ;
overloads: snow and wind, normal temperatures, operating overloads;
internal aggression ;
external aggression.
The first two are typical of civil engineering structures. The other two are specific to the nuclear sector, and need to be clarified.
3.1 Internal aggression: LOCA or RTV
These are conventional accidents in the sense that they are hypothetical accidents whose consequences must remain acceptable.
Design pressure and design temperature are derived from the...
